Al Gore is the Kwisatz Haderach
Frequent readers of TCD will know I have made a few references to Frank Herbert?s Dune series - maybe some of the best science fiction ever written.
What I can?t escape is the close allegories between Dune and the current political climate. It is fun to play at placing the characters around the story. Is Karl Rove part of the Spacing Guild or House Harkonnen - maybe a mentat? Rice has to be a Bene Gesserit. I shudder to think of the role of Barbara Bush in all of this.
Taking this game to the logical conclusion, Al Gore is the Madhi, the off-world prophet that will lead the Fremen and the world of Arrakis to a paradise of green and lush ecology. But there is a price and that price is a loss of spice that the Empire needs in great abundance to continue its reign of power.
That of course makes all of the Gore supporters, Fremen.
Bi-La-Kaifa!

My Final Plea to the Honorable Albert Gore, Jr.
I have been thinking a lot lately about all of our efforts to try to convince you to run for President in 2008. In you book, "The Assualt On Reason", you write about people needed to come together, to make our voices heard, to take back our government so that it is, once again, a government for the people, by the people. In working with draftgore.com, netrootsforgore, gore2008, Americaforgore and all the other websites that are working to get you to run, aren't we doing exactly what you advised us to do in your book?
We are coming together and using our voices - with newspaper ads, tv ads, calls & letters to senators, letters, phone calls and emails to you, working on various campaigns (like the pennies we sent), showing up where you are speaking to hand out "Gore 2008" buttons, gathering signatures - letting our opinions be known on hundreds of websites, here at current.com, on youtube and everywhere we can think of. We all have one common theme - to ask, beg, plea and, sometimes, even demand that you run.
In Time magazine May 16th, 2007, you stated that, "I am under no illusions that any position has as much ability to influence change as the presidency does. If the President made climate change the organizing principle, the filter through which everything else had to flow, then that could really make a huge difference." If you really believe that, why aren't you running? You have trained many others to carry on the climate crisis fight. Shouldn't you help all you can by being our president and helping us lead the world in this fight?
On July 7th you stood before millions of us, asking us to "answer the call" for our planet and we responded by signing the pledge and changing the way we live our lives, working to become carbon neutral - answering your call.
Now, Mr. Gore, isn't it time YOU answered our call? I have been thinking a lot lately about all of our efforts to try to convince you to run for President in 2008. In you book, "The Assu... more -

Lifting the Veil on the Agenda Behind not Wanting Al Gore to Run for President
Has anyone noticed that there is another movement in this country that is trying to keep Mr. Al Gore out of politics at any cost? This concept is mentioned time and again in articles lately that say that many in government fear Al Gores return to politics because they know that if in fact he does except the peoples challenge to run for president, then he would be unstoppable against any other candidate. Hillarys people shake when they hear talk of Gore running and the top Republican candidates dont even wish to speak of it. Is this a threat because he would reshape the government in ways that would change our country in fundamental ways? I know that both big business and those who run the government at present dont want to see a man of such high moral standards run for this office because they know that the laws that have been so unscrupulously passed to give them unprecedented powers would quickly be revoked. What I dont understand are the individuals who write glowing statements of Al Gores integrity, but say that he would lose all this integrity just by trying to right the wrongs that men of money and power have committed. These men of power have beat down the world with their wars and starved humanity of the very basics in life, and now that Al has shown the world this ultimate betrayal they tremble at the thought of his acquisition of the most powerful position in the world today, that of President of the United States. We should remember the last Presidential Race and the oh-so-underhanded ways that people, pretending to be individuals, lied about the Democratic candidate then, trying to convince this country that Kerrys service was disingenuous. I think what is going on is very similar, but since the people of the world cannot be convinced that Gore is disingenuous they say hes doing much better things for this world as a citizen who speaks from the side lines to the governments and corporations. They essentially are twisting common sense, saying that if Gore is effective as an individual that he somehow will be less effective by taking on the role of President. When in fact, if Mr. Gore listened to the call of the people, he could do all the things he has wanted to do throughout his life. We all recognize that any great task will take more than one man to accomplish, but if one man doesnt start this movement, and the world follow him then we are doomed to extinction. Great change has always started with one man brave enough to stand up and say something is very wrong then it spreads through the consciousness of the rest of humanity. Al Gore is the one man who has opened up the consciousness of the many and now he should lead the way to greater accomplishments. He has trained many others to do the work that he does now. He now needs to lead the world to a better way of life and doing business. I have many ideas as to how to help accomplish this and hopefully my next article will be able to cover that. First I thought I should speak to those who were confused or concerned by these nay-sayers who have tried to cloud the issues by pretending to be a friend of Al Gore. When in reality,.0 these people are overcome by the shear numbers of us that want to see this government and our world changed that they have reverted to underhanded tactics. They stroke him with one sentence and then dismiss his morality with the next. If any of you out there understand and have also seen this then please comment on it here, and please let others know that there really is another movement out there that is trying hard to keep Al under wraps so that they can continue their rein of terror and degradation upon this world. Peace and Power to the People! RUN AL RUN!! Has anyone noticed that there is another movement in this country that is trying to keep Mr. Al Gore out of politics at any cost? This... more

Al Gore vs. H. Clinton. This poll puts Gore in second place.
This poll puts Gore in second place, only points behind Clinton, and Gore is not even running "yet". <-- we all have hopes, dreams, and admirations; if Al Gore runs, many of mine would be satisfied...therefore, I say "yet". (the CBS poll link is at the top left of the page)
>>>>> I imagine that Al Gore could go to the top of the polls because Clinton does not stand solid on issues, is a mirror of John Kerry at times by changing sides on what she says during the debates, and is a lobbyist. At least she does admit to being a lobbyist though she does not admit to any illegal lobbying. For those reasons she is not trusful. It seems apparent that she hides her true intentions by not fully answering or changing the direction of questions. She is only going to the votes and not for the issues, in fear of any damage that may be done to her campaign so no person in their right mind should support any candidate like that.
>>>>>Furthermore, I totally support Gore because he stands by his beliefs and expresses them openly. People may say he's crazy or weird or anything else, but he has a passion and that is what everyone needs. There was a time when candidates actually stood for something which was more than themselves. I am saying that Gore is on a mission for the world, not just his nation or his benefits. When he made the documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth", he did not say..."I am doing this so I can win the Nobel Peace Prize." He did it because he saw an opportunity to give humanity information about the place it lives so that we can know what is happening and what our potential affects are.
>>>>>>For the skeptics:
For those of you who may not believe the statistics on "An Inconvenient Truth", think past the validity of what was presented to you and the rest of the world. Even if we are only going through an Earth/Time cycle, the fact is that we, humanity, needs to clean up our environment. We need to be responsible for things and not just cast pollution to the side until it becomes an issue. Why not start now and make our health and the potential health of our children much better. The news reports today speak of how China's pollution is causing many health problems. The number of problems have risen 40% since 2001 (when it's industry really began to take off). America already has so many "common" health problems which are rarely seen in many/most other countries. We are undoubtedly affecting our environment, not to say that is the only culprit. At the same time the changes could also be a cycle, but the cycle does not need our help. All we are doing is compounding its affects. We need to begin finding solutions to igsisting environmental problems now. Because change happens over a long period of time, we should act now so the changes will take affect before they become worse. For these reasons I support Al Gore and fully hope he will run in the 2008 elections and ultimately become president. This poll puts Gore in second place, only points behind Clinton, and Gore is not even running "yet". <-- we all have hopes, dreams,... more -

The Goresque Statement
from - http://www.towncalleddobson.com/?p=922
A lot of bandwidth has been used for the phrase Shermanesque Statement in reference to Gores plans about the 2008 Presidential race. Gore is not one of those guys who uses words in an unmeasured fashion. From his years in Congress and the White House, Gore is known for his precise language. He has even been accused of being a total geek about it.
When he said he will not make a Shermanesque statement about his plans to run, I seriously doubt he pulled that out of thin air. Lets look at the origins of the phrase.
The term derives from the Sherman pledge, a remark made by American Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman when he was being considered as a possible Republican candidate for the presidential election of 1884. He declined, saying If drafted, I will not run; if nominated, I will not accept; if elected, I will not serve.
Gore had to have known what the actual quote was. Hints at the future? Portents? Chicken entrails? The imagination runs wild.
it is obvious to Gore and his staff that there is a HUGE movement afoot to draft him to run for 2008. I know, I called his office and they added me to a list of hundreds that call on the typical day. So if he ISNT going to run, why not just say time has passed for me to consider a run in 2008? Why NOT make that Shermanesque statement?
Could it be if drafted, he will run; if nominated, he will accept; if elected, he will serve?
We can only hope. from - http://www.towncalleddobson.com/?p=922 ... more -
Wherefore Al Gore
Follows the progress of a campaign in Western Massachusetts to place Al Gore on the ballot for the Democratic Party primary. This is an interesting effort, thoroughly grass-roots, being undertaken by some 230 similar groups around the country. With Gore having just won the Nobel Peace Prize, an Oscar earlier in the year, huge international recognition and unencumbered by the negatives attached to the front-runners in the Democratic field, Gore supporters think he represents the best chance for the Democratic Party to capture the White House in 2008.

Paging Donna Brazile, you are wanted in the kitchen.
Hi Donna Brazile,
Glad to know you are not currently working for anybody's campaign. Get ready, the party is about to start. If my hunch is correct, and if everybody's wishes and dreams come true, you should be getting a call very soon. I have a feeling you already got a call, and that is why you are not currently working for anybody else's campaign.
If Al Gore were to decide to run , I know his first phone call would be to you. This isn't a guessing game, it's more like "pure hope"
Let's Go. We are all ready to cook with grease, ready to stir the pot.
(This photo of Al Gore was taken after he signed a copy of his book, and we talked about him running in 08. I left that event thinking he was going to run. It was one of those moments you don't forget.
I am ready to donate. I am ready to help. Just say the word.
Note to Al Gore: In general the country is in a deep depression. Feel free to jump in the race and give me, and the rest of the country real hope.

Markets say "Gore would obliterate any of them, were he to run."
Just as I suspected. Seems the Invisible Hand of the Market has decided.
According to Robin Hanson of Portfolio.com, Al Gore is the most electable erm candidate beating Hillary, all the Democrats, Giuliani and all the Republicans.
Seems you Americans are ready to get serious. Be nice to have you back in the Reality based community.
Quoting from said piece:
"Which means that InTrade's traders reckon Gore has a 58% chance of getting the nomination if he runs, and an 89% chance of winning the presidency if he's nominated, and an all-over probability of 52% that he'll become president if he throws his hat in the ring."
The blog article goes on to say:
"Meanwhile, the favorite for president, Hillary Clinton, has already thrown her hat in the ring, and is given a 48% chance of becoming president. (Giuliani's in a distant second place, on 17.6%.) Which means, I think, that Al Gore is considered to be the best presidential candidate in America, on a pure electability criterion."
He also just happens to be the best qualified person for the office.
Socrates said that any person who sought political office too readily was to be mistrusted. He said that only a person who sought office because they feared what others may do with it was acting from good intentions. Those Greeks, eh?
I recommend putting "The Assault on Reason" on your reading list btw. Some helpful hints in there for restoring the Constitution, saving democracy and so forth.
Cheerio. Just as I suspected. Seems the Invisible Hand of the Market has decided. ... more -
Red State says "A Gore/Obama ticket would kill Hillary first, and then the GOP"
Click the link to read the posting on Red State's blog. I love the reply underneath it:
"For heaven's sake by itrytobenice
keep this under wraps, and *tight*.
You are exactly right. G/O would be formidable for us and could wax the floor with Clinton, as no one really likes her.
I'd much rather compete against Billary, with all the baggage and shrillness, than Oscar/Nobel/Drammy Winner/Mr. Personality.
I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful 100 percent."
Keep this under wraps! Priceless.
